I've never been too fond of huge crowds so I tend to avoid live shows. But Bob was the exception for me. I've seen his live show more often than all the rest combined. RIP Bob, thanks for making me smile all these years.
Grew up listening to his standup comedy records. Loved the original Bob Newhart Show also. Comedy gold. RIP and thanks for the laughs.

I loved the Bob Newhart show.

R.I.P. It's funny I didn't really find him funny until I was much older and could understand the nuances of his comedy. I remember being a kid and my parents watching his shows and I couldn't get out of the room fast enough. His guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory were freaking hilarious.

Soft spoken and hilarious rarely blend so well.

I also saw him in Vegas in the 70's. It must have been in the same hotel. I was surprised how ribald his show was compared to his mild TV show. Much funnier in person.

I really can't recall just how many times I've seen Bob's show live but I loved every one of them. But 3 of the times I've seen him he had Don Rickles there as a surprise guest. Just curious if any of the other fans here saw him also with Don or a different surprise guest?

This one hurt a lot. A sad sad one in my house.

Not me, but I would have loved to see him with Don.
I love country music. But that is what made him so great. I laughed with him.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!

An absolute legend of legends.

He worked a little too blue for me but...I kid, one of the best to ever do it and one of the first! Goodnight, Bob.
Mr. Carlin will be happy to see him in the big waiting room in the sky.

I finally found my “the Windmills Are Weakening” LP. My parents played it endlessly when I was a kid. His routines are just timeless. RIP Dr. Hartley.
